Hi, Sam: Well, you've certainly made my ears stam up straight! My work has been almost exclusively standards over the past dacde, primarily Linux Foundation -- which we need to reinvigorate, W3C which is highly productive just now, and also ISO SC35 the subcommittee on user interfaces. What are

I've never been involved in regulatory work and have not generally been involved in advocacy work within the blind community. However, I have been fairly involved in international standards work which is somewhat related to regulatory work. I have a very solid senior technology resume as well as

You and I are in full agreement on this, John. In fact, Curtis Chong and I talked through this very issue when he and I served together on the very first Sec. 508 FACA. I clearly remember us discussing all the equipment in the back office. We decided that, unless the task was climbing around and

Well, this goes back to the reason I helped create the International Association Of Visually Impaired Technologists. There doesn't seem to be anybody taking systems admin accessibility seriously. I talked to Curtis Chong of the NFB about this. The NFB spends a lot of it's resources talking to M

Hi, John: It's certainly possible to build rpms with the staging modules for Fedora. I used to do that years ago. Bill Acker kept up with doing that in recent years. While he wasn't the maintainer at rpmfusion for that particular package, builds did seem to cease about the time of his demise. I'm

Surely there must be somebody building kernels with those modules so that you can install by adding their yum repository to your system. If not, it would mean that a blind RH systems admin couldn't do his work at the console. If remote access is broken he'd be in serious trouble. Most systems

Hi, Well, I've moved from Fedora to Arch on any machine where I need Speakup. The reason is that rpmfusion has not provided kernel staging modules since kernel 4.0.4. So, I had the choice of constantly building my own, or switching distros. I chose the latter. I am still running Fedora on my dat
